AMEP is the Adult Migrant English Program aimed at supporting migrants and refugees on their settlement journey, to make the most of living in Australia. To do so, we teach English, work and digital skills and offer a safe community to improve or learn new skills to enter into the Australian workplace. It’s free to students, and fully funded by the Australian Federal Government.

The Skills for Education and Employment program gives you the skills and support you need to prepare for work or further study. This free program gives you job-related training in language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills.

PBA stands for Points Based Activation System from Workforce Australia. It allows you to earn points towards your mutual obligation requirements. The points system recognises tasks and activities that help you find a job. Each task or activity you can do is worth a certain number of points in alignment with the weekly hours.

For example our programs contribute:

• AMEP – 25 points per week for over 15 contact hours
• AMEP – 15 points per week for less than 15 contact hours
• SEE – 25 points per week
